Question 1

Is this an AI detector like the ones teachers use?

Accepted Answer

No — those guess probabilities and misfire constantly. This checks your text against a curated list of specific phrases that B2B buyers recognize as AI or template filler. Every flag is a real phrase at a real position; you judge it yourself.

Question 2

Do these phrases actually hurt reply rates?

Accepted Answer

Yes, measurably. A 2025/26 analysis of 133,000+ freelance proposals found each AI-cliché phrase reduced reply rates by roughly 0.7 percentage points, and proposals with four or more got essentially zero replies. Buyers even run their own tests to catch AI-written pitches.

Question 3

My text was flagged but I wrote it myself. Is that wrong?

Accepted Answer

Not at all — these phrases predate AI; AI just industrialized them. The problem isn't who wrote them, it's that they say nothing specific. The fix is the same either way: replace the phrase with a fact about this client.

Question 4

So should I stop using AI for proposals?

Accepted Answer

No — you should stop using AI without context. Generic prompts produce generic text. When AI writes from your actual sales call — the client's own words, numbers and objections — the output is specific by construction. That's exactly how Proposals generates offers.

Question 5

Is my text stored?

Accepted Answer

No. It's scanned, the result is returned, and the text is discarded.
